Are people finally realizing “renewable energy” is a waste of time? Maybe so, at least in the country of Denmark, where officials opened up bids for companies to build a new offshore wind project and not a single company jumped in to bid on the project.
Not one company wanted to join the government for subsidized wind energy! Zero.
Usually, when one of these government subsidized projects is announced, this is all just free money to construction companies. But apparently, Denmark had no takers.
Per GCaptain.cpm:
The Danish Energy Agency hadn’t received a single bid in a tender for three offshore wind farms in the North Sea by Thursday’s deadline, it said in a statement. It now will initiate a dialog with the market to find out why.
Denmark’s Climate and Energy Minister Lars Aagaard called the results “very disappointing” and said they were “not at all what was expected” when a broad majority in parliament entered into the political agreement to expand the country’s offshore wind capacity.
It was the first round in an tender to establish at least 6 gigawatts of wind power at sea in six parks by 2030. Aagaard recognized that the results “do not give rise to great optimism” for the other three farms in the tender, but said there may be “other players and business models at play.” The deadline for these bids is in April.
The death of these sham projects can’t come too soon, really.
But is this a sign that they are going to go the way of the dodo bird, or is this just a fluke?
I guess we shall see.
